Why do refs have those little distance trackers on their upper back? (n/t) on 15:16 - Feb 1 by tonybied

To know how far they have run and whether their speed varies much during the game.
Data analysts.
Yes. Because they employ them and will want to know if there is any issue with their fitness/performance.
